I was setting up a large, cast aluminum, decorative sundial in my yard that I had purchased from a garden catalog. A neighbor, an old fellow, was leaning on the fence watching my progress and asked, "What the hell's that for?" I explained, "It's a sundial. See, the sun will hit that s...

I reckon either we are on rations, or all our Solo Nomads have scampered and heading for them far horizons. How lucky can you get. I'm sitting here listening to my folk hero Slim Dusty's Family Reunion Album, and now my feet are itchy with them musical adventures. But, after helping my daughter with c...

well I'm back on board again, walking through the door wondering if there is anybody home cobwebs everywhere dust all over the place, where is the banter that we are so reknown for, the lively chat that I look forward to, certainly not here, all I here is the moaning of the desert wind in the silky oaks, fi...

An old man and woman were married for many years, even though they hated each other. When they had a confrontation, screaming and yelling could be heard deep into the night.

I don't think we should have to pay to SEE our own country, irrespective of who owns it. Camping is a slightly different matter, if services are provided, IF we need to use them.

New Alphabet Ais for apple, andBis for boat, That used to be right, but now it won't float! Age before beauty is what we once said, But let's be a bit more realistic instead. Now The Alphabet A's for arthritis; B's the bad back, C's the chest pains, perhaps car-d-iac? D is for dental decay and decline, E is...

What pisses me off is the fact that the rest of the world has to suffer because a few greedy, sleazy cretins on Wall st Screwed Up The prime lending rate problems were known about for ages but of course if an extra cent can be gouged from someone then you do that rather than worry about the implications of yo...
